Exode 16:17 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 16:17

And the children of Israel did so
They went out of the camp in the morning when it was fallen, and gathered it; which is expressive of believers going out of the camp, leaving the world, and all behind them for Christ; and of their going out of themselves to him, and of their going in and out, and finding pasture and food for their souls in him to live upon: and gathered some more, some less; some that were more robust and strong, that were more active and diligent, gathered in more than others; which may denote the different degree and exercise of faith in God's people; some are strong in it, and others weak; some attain to a greater degree of knowledge of Christ, and receive more grace from him, and have more spiritual peace, joy, and comfort in believing, and others less; see ( Romans 15:1 Romans 15:13 ) .

Exode 16:17 In-Context

15 Quand les enfants d'Israël la virent, ils se dirent l'un à l'autre: Qu'est cela? car ils ne savaient ce que c'était. Et Moïse leur dit: C'est le pain que l'Éternel vous a donné à manger.
16 Voici ce que l'Éternel a commandé: Recueillez-en chacun en proportion de ce qu'il mange, un homer par tête, selon le nombre de vos personnes; vous en prendrez chacun pour ceux qui sont dans sa tente.
17 Les enfants d'Israël firent donc ainsi; et ils recueillirent, l'un plus et l'autre moins.
18 Et ils le mesurèrent par homer; et celui qui en recueillait beaucoup, n'en eut pas trop, et celui qui en recueillait peu, n'en manqua pas; ils en recueillirent chacun en proportion de ce qu'il mangeait.
19 Et Moïse leur dit: Que personne n'en laisse de reste jusqu'au matin.
